West Dover
West Dover is the side of town that grew up around Dover Air Force Base and the commercial spine of U.S. 13, which tells you most of what you need to know about the rhythm. Subdivisions, big-box parking lots, and the Dover Mall set the texture; Silver Lake and Schutte Park supply the green. Rents run friendly by Mid-Atlantic standards, and commutes inside the city stay short. The honest tradeoffs are the C-17s overhead, the strip-retail sprawl, and a downtown that is a drive rather than a walk. Reasonable trade if you want square footage and a quiet cul-de-sac.
